2 WebSafe With WebSafe, companies can greatly reduce identity theft, account takeover, and fraudulent transactions. Advanced capabilities detect, alert, and protect against client-side targeted and generic malware, phishing attacks, and other fraudulent online activities. WebSafe applies a variety of identification techniques to recognize web fraud, attempted automated transfers, and other malware patterns. WebSafe is easy to deploy and completely transparent to the user, requiring no changes to the application or client-side installations. With WebSafe, your organization gains advanced real-time protection against the theft of identity, intellectual property, sensitive data, and money. Malware and fraud detecting Using WebSafe, website owners identify and protect against financial malware, MITB, zero-day fraud, and other fraudulent online activities. WebSafe applies advanced identification techniques that enable your organization to recognize and be informed of sophisticated malware patterns. These patterns include injections of malicious script, attempted automated transfers, and RAT malware that gives attackers administrative control over a victim s computers. WebSafe draws out persistent variations of Zeus, Citadel, Carberp, and other sophisticated client-side malware types, and identifies infected users. Malware that steals credentials stored in browser memory or saved to clipboards can also be detected. WebSafe enables rapid response to zero-day events with custom user-defined alerts that filter client request data and alert on specific search findings providing the most immediate coverage for identifying fraud attempts (or malware). These capabilities help your organization understand the full scope of threats and ensure protection. Advanced phishing and pharming detection Fraudsters today are dusting off and beefing up legacy tactics such as phishing and pharming to target online banking users account information. WebSafe provides advanced and preemptive phishing and pharming detection capabilities that help your organization to identify attacks before mass s are communicated. WebSafe detects and alerts the fraud team when the phishing site has been loaded to a spoofed domain. WebSafe also identifies the attacker and referrer, as well as other critical details, and reports this back to the organization. Application-level encryption and data protection As credential theft rises, opening the door to substantial bank fraud and information theft, WebSafe helps to ensure those accessing your online services and applications are protected against identity theft. Advanced application-level encryption protects all sensitive information transferred from users to organizations and renders any data intercepted by an attacker worthless. The encryption protects account information that may become compromised prior to SSL encryption while data is in use within the browser or mobile application. It also employs form field obfuscation and other techniques to slow down attackers preventing them from understanding the site and learning the type of information users are submitting (i.e., username, password, account number, etc.). In addition, WebSafe generates an alert when credentials stored in browser memory (or copied to a clipboard) are altered while the protected application is in use. Credential theft and data protection in WebSafe is 100 percent transparent, protecting information across all device types without changes to the app, client-side downloads, or end-user dependencies. 2

3 Advanced fraud protection An effective fraud defense requires a multi-layered strategy that enables cross-correlation of fraud and security events, deep forensic analysis, and integration with the broader security infrastructure. The F5 BIG-IP platform s security modules augment WebSafe capabilities with anti-ddos and WAF protections. This enables the most accurate understanding of the full scope of threats institutions face and helps thwart the broader aspect of sophisticated fraud exploits. WebSafe easily integrates with third-party SIEMs, risk management, and logging systems for deeper analysis, compliance automation and assurance, and IT operational intelligence. Furthermore, WebSafe s advanced capabilities enable automated responses to all fraud threats. Fraud managers can configure policies triggered by specific fraud events and based upon score for effective event logging, temporary blocking of user access, or application traffic steering for in-depth analysis. WebSafe effectively frees up resources to focus on the most crucial fraud events, while ensuring every fraud alert is attended to. Transaction protection With each transaction executed and upon site login, WebSafe performs a series of transaction checks including iframe checks, behavioral analysis, signature and function verification, and more. The rich set of capabilities enables it to accurately distinguish legitimate transactions from those initiated by fraudsters in real time, and even malicious connections initiated from the same device. WebSafe assigns a risk score to each transaction based on its likelihood of being fraudulent. Alerts are generated against highrisk transactions, driving rapid response actions. WebSafe raises the bar on transaction protection, giving fraud teams real-time notice of malicious transaction attempts including session hijacking, transaction cookie tampering, and transaction exploits that replace account numbers maintained in browser memory or saved to clipboards. Device and behavior analysis WebSafe is able to identify and prevent automated payments and money transfers initiated by malware or bots by assessing a variety of device-specific and behavioral variables, which together are designed to distinguish human users from automated scripts or bots. User and application transparency WebSafe uniquely enables fraud detection and protection without modifications to applications or client-side installations. The fraud protection solution allows you web fraud protection services and credential theft protections without changing the user experience or introducing complexities into application code ensuring full transparency and greater efficiency in deployment. 3
